Heresjohnny's Monster Mud Entry

[heresjohnny]

I wanted to do a different take on a classic Monster Mud prop, the Reaper. I call it the Gate Keeper. The Gate Keeper is all monster mud, burlap over chicken wire, except for the right arm (a bucky arm), the head, and the lantern.

[Lauriebeast]

Wow johnny, that looks fantastic! I love the way you've photographed him too.

[oct31man]

Excellent work! I envy your talent!

[CreepyCanmore]

Killer prop. I especially liked the blue pic, gives it a good "lookin' at you from the other side" style.

[Merlin (The Quiet One)]

Ooh, I like him! Terrific job with MM.

[Lagrousome]

Excellent prop HJ! Love the pose & the lantern!

[Otaku]

Very, very nice, HJ! The missing finger really lends an aura of weathering and age to him. Now, how about a pair of them as graveyard entrance guardians?

[jrzmac]

I can't believe the originality of some of you guy's. And the talent.I wish I could come up with some of these idea's on my own and not have to "borrow" everyone else's. Sick, totally sick. I love it.....

[widowsbluff]

Wow! I really like it, he would look great in a garden.

[Ghostess]

That is creepy-awesome! I love it!

Holy crap! That's awesome!

[Death Wraith]

Excellent piece. Need to add something like that to my graveyard. :)
